I mean like on a key chain or a braclet. The metal part gets dull and sometimes even turn rusty. How do I get rid of all these? Is there a way or something?

Try soaking it in Coca-Cola for an hour or so, and then scrubbing it with a cloth. There's something about the acidic content of cola that makes it a great chrome cleaner, so it's worth a try.

The rusting is probably caused by your sweat; more correctly, the salt in your sweat. Salt is an oxidizer. Rust is iron-oxide.
There is a chemical you can buy in the larger home improvement stores. Its called Os-Pho. It chemically changes iron oxide to iron phosphate. The rust disappear, the metal has a slight white dusty material on it that can be washed off - and presto! - bare metal that can be polished to a shine.

I use a powder cleaner called The Bartenders Friend. If that doesnt work may try Tarnex.

Go to the store and get some polish.
Follow the directions on the container.
If you are not sure what to get, go to a hardware store and ask the staff for advice.

Use some 0000 steel wool, it's really fine and shouldn't scratch the metal.
